Randall Lee Church didn’t believe his fellow inmates when they warned him about culture shock after he got out of prison — he thought they were just jealous. But then Church, who’d been locked up since 2011, emerged into a world that made no sense. When Church got out of prison, he tells the Houston…

I know I am asserting something that is absolutely horrific. It is unacceptable – the idea that WTC collapsed because as a result of a controlled demolition, and in precisely the same manner as the other two big WTC buildings collapsed. It is unthinkable that all three buildings collapsed on account of demolition, yet they…
The (Im)Moral Micro Continuum
If the world of world of warcraft were real, it would be Hellish. Azeroth is insanity incarnate. One wouldn’t even want to briefly visit the place for fear of infection with a disease that turns one in to a horrific shambling mindless undead cannibal. And that’s just a low level thing. And then there is…
The Maitreya and the Cyborg: Connecting East and West for Enriching Transhumanist Philosophy
(source) In this essay I would like to reflect on Eastern and Western philosophy, their definition of enlightenment, and their connection to transhumanist thinking. How may Buddhist concepts like ‘Bodhi’ and the ‘Maitreya’ relate to the Western ‘Enlightenment’, human enhancement, and post/transhumanism? Although this sketch is far from complete at assessing, interpreting, and understanding the…
Losing it
Geert Wilders has gone raving mad. Screaming and spitting mad in parliament. Scandalous and shameful. …or so it seems! My old theory stands – Wilders was put in place as a stopgap against the populist popular vote (a fake politico) just after Fortuyn was killed. My theory is that Kok needed a solution to satiate…

Red versus Blue
I actually have an idea for Red versus Blue that is pretty much so rock solid and politically incorrect it will work for the long haul. Preparing this will take me a couple of weeks because the idea is based on some building and purchases – and that requires me L$ money. Stand by for…

Sorry for the bad news Giulio
Yesterday (very early friday 15 september) my ‘boss’, Giulio (and I use “boss” as an affectionate title) was able to hold a presentation at the Terasem “sim” in Second Life, on behalf of a gathering for the organization of Humanity Plus. There Giulio lamented the divisive, lackluster and fragmented moral character infusing transhumanism in 2011,…
I had a dream of thousands of dog tags swaying in the storm.
I was in a very detailed FPS shooter and forcibly male. I faced other such stylized males and I felt them approach, stalk up on me, in a deserted and ruined Abu Dhabi, and kill me. I experienced being shot, and then I was back in the deserted cityscape of Abu Dhabi, and it happened…
My views on “marriage”
I think marriage is a great idea. People do the damndest things. Hell, I have been married with a lesbian. We can here in the Netherlands. But what I am against is the state favouring the concept of marriage over another. I am for the state law being purged of any references to the idea…
The Surreal Character Of “Progress Tax”
Those who know me – I have been arguing for a few years that the steady forward creep of desparity in international society amounts to an existential threat. This may be a very bold claim, and it is also a claim many people instantly denounce, since the very idea smacks of (paraphrasing) marxism. I have…

Are Jobs on Their Way to Becoming Obsolete? And Is That a Good Thing?
Do we have it backward when we call for job creation? Could we instead radically rethink our economy to benefit everyone? Media theorist and author of Life, Inc.: How the World Became a Corporation and How to Take it Back Douglas Rushkoff ruffled some feathers this week when he dared, at CNN.com of all places,…
The secret harvester strategy of Facebook
Facebook has strategies to make money. I will try and link solid reports as soon as possible so do follow this post, but I have read alarming indications that Facebook does have a policy of rejecting users “likely to not be of relevance to any advertsing sponsors”. While Facebook rapidly grows in the developing world…
International Debtors Union – The War On “Nexual” Predators
Why not? The current system is driving large parts of humanity into debt slavery or “Nexum”. The power of unionization is real. A Union can negotiate collective terms. A Union can pool resources and have proactive, assertive, or aggressive strategies to protect victims of predatory credit agencies. Such an entity can stay within the confines…
